Gerald Shields saw an unusually large number of cop cars at a traffic stop. He began filming them from across the public street. No yelling, no interference, no threats. Just recording what police officers were doing – in public, from a safe distance. But minutes later, Gerald was face-down on the ground, injured, and under arrest. The alleged crime? Improperly crossing the street. But as it turns out, that wasn’t actually a crime. The officers were just harassing Gerald because he was filming them. They didn’t even deny it…

Why do these Prosecutors even let it get to court in the first place 😒
😮
JOIN THE WAR ON BULLY COPS. ALWAYS FILM THE POLICE. EXPOSE THEM AND DESTROY THEIR LIVES!
It looks like Gerald had recorded officers racially profiling those two Black men and they had to retaliate.
Should have stayed in grass and not cross road.
hmmm why do they mind being filmed their filmed on duty arent they? what could possibly make them uncomfortable with that?
How the fuck could you make an argument it's interference to ask a question, you sound stupid sometimes. Speech alone can't be interference
These are common criminals the cops sad state of America
The arresting officer should be charged with assault and battery, he did not even offer or ask the defendant to turn around and place his hands behind his back. So the violent act of throwing him the ground was for the purpose of causing him physical injury / batter him.
Thes guys would be ezy to call them as clowns, but now they they alone make them selves into psycho Basterd ego ass hole s need to be fired
I am a regular citizen and i dont like being filmed in public either, but i know that it is legal to do so. However cops are, so called, public servants and are theoretically answerable to the public.
He was also refused a Sgt , that shows guilt right there
🐷🤡🐽💩🖕
More disgusting cop BS
Wow, those are some pretry big egos!! Ridiculous!
That’s the general attitude of Orange County cops.
8:04 they are indemnified by those who have empowered them to be "legally Incompetent " (Not a Legal Expert) ….Yet, take "legal' actions in the moment
How many Orlando Police does it take to issue a vehicle citation? 4. One to write the ticket and three to beat up the on lookers.
USA Free County ??? OUR Tax Dollars at WASTE … The Blueline Domestic Terrorist Gang Doing what they are poorly trained to do …
Police don't face accountability in a courtroom. They face it when they meet their Creator.
